Extra Clip Art Pics (over 150,000)

2) I found this right on Microsoft's website. It's a website that features FREE tools for teachers to utilize. The PDF file on the page shows what Microsoft has to offer in regards to free tools for teachers.

The direct link: Microsoft FREE Teaching Tools -- then click on the PDF below the picture.

Some of the featured "pieces" are:

  1. Movie Maker
  2. PhotoSynth
  3. Photostory
  4. Math Add-ins (add charts/graphs/schematics)
  5. MouseMischief
  6. Interactive Classroom

These, as well as other free features by Microsoft can certainly enhance student engagement and keep them involved in learning throughout a lesson utilizing these technologies.
